Clean playing, hard work, vigorous training, and an influence for good citizenship are essentials of The Ross System of teaching athletics. Ross Boner, as manager of athletics, contributed much to 1923 athletics by arrang- ing a Hne schedule, and by skillfully directing the Iinancial department. He has shown a perfect willingness to work with Cebe at all times, and has been of invaluable assistance to our coach and boys. The team won four games, defeating Washington Irving, Weston, Spencer and Clark District: played scoreless ties with Wheeling and Nloundsville, and lost by a small margin to East Side and Elkins. On the whole it was a remarkably successful season, and will long be remembered with pride by the school. BASKET-BALL IN B. H. S. When the candidates assembled for basket-ball this year everybody predicted a most successful season. Practice was started early. Consequently, the first game which was with East Side, found the boys in mid-season form and there was no difliculty in putting the score on the right side of the ledger. From then on they won their games regularly so that by the end of the season we had I9 out of 24 games to our credit. With East Side, Elkins, Graf- ton, and Lumberport we divided the honors, while we twice took the scalps of W. 61 I., Weston, Victory, Jane Lew, and once from the Alumni, Fairview, Parkersburg. and Shinnston. We went to the Valley Tournament Hunheralded and unsung, but we reached the tri-finals by climbing over Mill Creek H. S. and East Side--the latter had been picked to win the tournament. We were defeated in the tri-finals by Lumberport. This was the surprise of the tourney. We entered the State Tournament under the same conditions. Sweet revenge came when we defeated Lumberport. Then we defeated Shinnston, and next Parkersburg, which game was the thriller of the tourney. We were stopped only in the semi-finals by Charleston, the winners of the meet. Only two of the men are lost this year through graduation, so even the most pessi- mistic cannot help prophesying that B. H. S. will possess a truly great team next year. BASKET-BALL IN JUNIOR HIGH The Junior High basket-ball season was a very successful one. Several games were played at home and abroad. Defeat came but once, and then by just two points. We are glad to see such good material developed in Junior High, because some day these same players will be in Senior High and will win honors for the school. Mr. Williams is to be congratulated for his success as a coach, as he has never failed to put out a good team. I I85I
